It was really great rally with very strong entry and plenty of fights on almost every position. And it is very sad there is not so many posts here

Had to cancel my plans to watch the rally "live" as had to have some un-planned treatment for pre-cancerous cells on my face so the Spanish sunshine was deemed un-acceptable by my GP! Watched and followed the event online and its certainly on my list for next year when can hopefully plan a longer break in the area to take in the rally.

Really pleased to see "Cohete" take the win as he's a fast and spectacular driver and a character as well. As Pluto has said plenty of fights which bodes well for the rest of the year and will try and contribute more to future ERC threads as this championship it looks to be way more open than it has been in a long time.

Yes a really good event.

Maybe the slow forum is reducing the number of posters, but some of us still tried.

The locals were very strong too so the battle of the ERC Contenders wasnt always at the top. Plus Champ Marczyk going out early.didnt help...

I`d almost say Suninen moved to top contender for the title, surprisingly strong here on Tarmac, and next event he`ll for sure be strong in so looking good for him

For me bigger surprise was Basso. I expected he can be fast, but I didnt expected he will be so good...

Yes, Suninen was the biggest surprise for me as well. If he can finish 4th in a "specialist" tarmac rally, what can he do in a gravel event?
We will find out in Sweden...

Same for me. I didn't expect the old fox to be still so fast in a foreign rally.

For the championship, Suninen is the favourite for me, if he keeps it on the road.

Experience counts for a lot.

And TBH Suninen should be the favourite, like Paddon when he joined ERC.
